South Augusta store robbed

Two men robbed a store on Lumpkin Road at gunpoint Tuesday morning, police said.

A witness told police that the men entered Sunnis Neighborhood Store at 2849 Lumpkin Road with white T-shirts wrapped around their faces, a Richmond County sheriffs report said.

One of the men jumped onto the counter and snatched the cash register while the other produced a handgun and threatened the clerk, the report said. The men then ran from the store with the cash register, which is valued at about $1,000.
